It's quite disgusting and turned me off to having their pastries, which sucks because they are tasty. The last few days in a row I've come and seen this issue. I brought it up to the employee at the register and he just looked at me and completely ignored what I said and shrugged. It seems like they don't care to follow health regulations. I hope this issue gets nipped in the bud and they install some plastic/vinyl curtains on the display case or figure out a way to fix their fly problem so that I can enjoy the pastries again. I'll update the review when I see that it's been fixed.

My friend tried the seasonal…read morepeach matcha latte, she gave me a sip and my first thought was how subtle the peach puree flavor was and it complemented the matcha drink really well. Tried the strawberry matcha latte for the first time, and I really enjoyed it - the strawberry puree wasn't too sweet or syrupy, and the matcha drink itself (half sweet) wasn't too powdery like other places (meaning the matcha powder is whisked well initially). Since the hype has gone down, there's no huge line anymore, even on the weekend. Service is fast with the cashier.

The drink itself is quite large and a good amount for the price. Upon first sip you can definitely taste the quality of the matcha, and I appreciate how it isn't too sweet. While it was good, it wasn't anything that mind blowing.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the café has a lively, bustling atmosphere. It can get pretty crowded, so I'd say it's better for catching up with friends than trying to get work done. The coffee is consistently high quality, which is why I keep coming back. If you're looking for a reliable coffee shop with great drinks and a vibrant atmosphere, Verve is definitely worth checking out.

Good artistry pulling it all together. Today though, I strayed from the usual cappu and tried their mocha. Damn. May possibly be a top 3 mocha in my life. As you'd expect, the base espresso, milk, process, they all matter here; but the key decision here is which chocolate to integrate in. And Verve's chocolate is quite amazing. I hear they make their own chocolate, so to imitate this at home would mean figuring out their in-house recipe. But damn...in the meantime, I'll be back for that mocha.

You place your orders and walk to their out door patio which is a haven of umbrellas and seating. The staff is kind, our interactions were limited but I can tell they were vigilant.

There was plenty of seating on the (dog friendly) patio, and the line to order food moved pretty quickly. I chose the Iced Rose Latte and Brie and Mushroom Omelette, and my partner got the Dirty Chai Latte and Fambrini's Breakfast. We also got an order of the O La La Buttermilk Pancakes to share. Both coffee drinks were excellent - strong and flavorful. We definitely ordered way too much food, but it was delicious! My omelette was basic but tasty, and the pancakes were insane. We skipped the cotton candy topping, but the lemon-custard cream and homemade whipped cream were incredible. Service was quick and seamless. Would definitely return for more!

I regularly patronize this establishment and they have always treated me with kindness and care. They remember my order and they always make me feel special when I am there. I've had the avocado toast and the scrambled eggs with salmon. The food is fresh, and care is taken with the presentation. They've recently redid the patio, so there is outdoor dining in the back courtyard and the inside has a charming French style ambiance. The staff are wonderful and a special shout out to Ricardo and Suzie for always taking good care of me! Thank you Mademoiselle Colette!

A good croissant in most other places is $6. Not here! I got a simple grab and go turkey sandwich today and it was $17. The flavors were not great and the amount of meat was literally a single slice of turkey. The focaccia was wildly oily too. Stick with their coffee and pastries when you have extra $$ to spend.

It was served slightly warm and smelled like a rich, comforting chowder. The filling was on the lighter side with more pastry than potato/onion.

The danish pastry is softer than the turnover- super fluffy and tender. The pineapple and coconut were so fragrant and flavorful without being overly sweet too.

I had time to kill but wasn't too hungry so naturally I ate something ‍ BEST HAM AND CHEESE CROISSANT I HAVE HAD IN SOMETIME! No, really. It's simple but easily messed up by most places that have them. Flaky, ham was thin and broke apart easily, the cheese and inner soft portion mixed together was superb. I sat quietly and munched! I overheard regulars saying it was unusually quiet and not the norm? Regardless it was peaceful! Shades triangles above the picnic table, the side under the tree was occupied but I was happy where I was. I'm going to have to return with my wife at some point and even when I'm in the area I'll make it a point to stop over.
